teacher next door, before
she met
her future husband
on Catholic Singles,
used to bring
me over a plate of whatever
she had made
for dinner
that week.
sometimes a stew,
sometimes
a pasta dish with garlic bread.
sometimes
a cake.
thank you, i'd tell her.
you're way too kind,
then listen
to her play her piano
through the wall,
until she went to bed,
climbing the stairs
alone.
